When women are your target audience, you need an influencer marketing agency who truly understands the female demographic, and doesn’t rely on ineffective, outdated tactics.
You need a partner who knows the social media platforms that have the highest female followings and resonate best with women, and how to create and share content that connects, entertains and educates women — in language that authentically reflects her life experiences.
At Sway Group, we evaluate your business needs, campaign key performance indicators (KPIs), and target consumer mindset in order to develop a spectrum of female-focused media strategies that will deliver the results you need.
We understand the value of targeting women with digital marketing: women drive 70-80% of all consumer purchasing, through a combination of their buying power and influence. We also know that it doesn’t work to treat this large and enormously influential audience as one large group of individuals with the same characteristics.
Exceptional influencer marketing for women, by women.
Sway Group is a women-driven company (just take a look at our team!) who has been in the business of connecting brands and female consumers since 2011. We know how to reach women at every age and stage, without relying on outdated and misguided methods that patronizes.
Today’s women often experience a disconnect in the ways brands talk to them. We’re all tired of the “shrink it and pink it” strategy, we’re over the stock photos with women being weirdly delighted by salads.
When you work with Sway Group, you can trust that we will bring your brand goals to life in a way that’s authentic to women’s needs. We deliver distinctive influencer campaigns that elevate your brand among your target female audience, with diverse representations of what it’s like to be a woman today.
“Marketing to women in ways that are empowering isn’t just good for women—it makes economic sense.” —Sheryl Sandberg
Doing female-focused influencer marketing the right way can be complicated and time-consuming. (And time may not be something you have on your side.)
We have the passion and industry expertise to bring your female-focused influencer and social media programs to life, with results you can measure.
Our custom-built dashboard was developed in partnership with CreatorIQ (CIQ), a leading enterprise software provider for influencer marketing. The CIQ platform, integrated with our proprietary technology, provides us with a robust system for influencer and campaign management, tracking, and reporting.
We vet influencers with great accuracy — so you can choose confidently.
This system means that we can offer an incredibly granular targeting service, for reaching the right women, in the right place, at the right time. We can search by creator and audience interests, brand affinities, demographic information, and influencer historical performance among our Sway network members, along with millions of other influencers in the social media space.
Prior to a program’s start, our clients get lists of hand-picked, recommended influencers, beautifully displayed for team review. Once campaigns are underway, our dashboard accurately measures program performance in real-time, with the ability to tailor campaign tactics for optimal results. Behind the scenes, our dashboard streamlines workflow, facilitates team collaboration and QA, helps prevent influencer fraud, and provides incredible insight into the entire campaign from start to finish.

What you might not realize is that it can be a challenge to find the resources to manage your influencer programs, especially at scale. That’s why our influencer management strategies include the flexibility to supplement your existing infrastructure, so we can be the full-service team you need.
Unlike running a traditional ad campaign, with influencer marketing your messaging becomes dynamic; it gets shared via unique voices with unique perspectives.
Some influencer marketing services simply allow you to hire a popular person to repeat your brand messaging word for word. In comparison, we encourage flexible content prompts that allow for creativity and spark dialogue among your female consumers. In the end, your brand is brought to life by influencers and consumers alike, with plenty of opportunities for you to join the conversation.
Talk to us today to learn how you’ll not only gain authentic content that women actually engage with, but with our in-depth reporting and metrics, you’ll also have new insights that contribute to more rich and meaningful perspective of your brand as a whole.
The influencer marketing space is getting more crowded every day.
Here are several watch-outs to keep top of mind when selecting the right influencer marketing agency to meet your needs:
You can blow your budget on partnering with a popular influencer, but are you really getting results? There’s no point in reaching a large audience with generic, untargeted content.
Our highly-engaged, diverse community of influencers are experts in creating content that drives true engagement around brand messaging. Whether you’re looking to reach music lovers in the Midwest or big-city millennial moms (who also love dogs), we can target your ideal demographic.
According to Nielsen’s Global Trust in Advertising report, 92% of consumers around the world say they trust earned media, such as recommendations from friends and family, above all other forms of advertising.
This, coupled with the fact that one in four internet users say they block ads, is very compelling.
Influencer content outperforms traditional ads because of its ability to capture consumer attention in a credible, authentic way.
When you work with us, your influencer-created content will:
Our diverse network of talented influencers is expert in delivering content that attracts and encourages action. Niche creators provide a wealth of targeted opportunities: lifestyle, fashion, home, food, design, parenting, technology, and more. We can identify audiences that are best suited for your brand, down to specific demographics, behaviors, and geographic locations.
We know it’s not enough to run a program and hope it works—you want to know who sees your content and what they do with it. While we take great pride in our influencer content quality, we also know it all comes down to performance. After all, campaigns are only as good as their KPI achievements.
That’s why we put as much emphasis on research and reporting as we do on producing amazing visuals and memorable brand stories. At Sway Group, we continually study engagement information and traffic metrics not just for our clients’ benefit, but to help ensure our current and future strategies are second to none.
We combine historical knowledge with in-the-moment analysis to optimize every aspect of your campaign, and provide you with precisely what you need to determine ROI.
When you work with us, you get the benefit of our hands-on expertise, our passion, and our dedication. Every campaign starts with a team dedicated to you and your business goals: a typical influencer program includes 7-10 Sway Group professionals, from client services to quality assurance and reporting.
Whether we’re operating as a powerhouse extension of your existing influencer marketing team or handling everything from strategy to execution, we’re devoted to your success.
Wondering what it really means to make us an extension of your marketing efforts? Let’s use a case study as an example and really dig in.
Stonyfield runs small influencer campaigns in-house but engages us to execute programming at scale. They came to us with a big, broad challenge: Develop large-scale influencer programming that highlighted the full range of their kid-focused products (five different product lines) while leveraging the brand’s 35 year history of creating healthy and delicious yogurts and their commitment to the environment.
We identified key moments in time that the Stonyfield target audience (millennial moms) was searching for and interacting with online. These included parenting milestones such as introducing solids to baby or packing healthy school lunches as well as holidays like Valentine’s Day and Earth Day. We also studied social platform usage throughout the campaign period as usage fluctuates. For example, blog readership often goes down in the summer months while Instagram usage goes up. Different social platforms also appeal to different types of consumers; an avid Instagram user doesn’t always engage on Facebook.
We used these key insights to develop a strategy that delivered the right content, at the right time, and on the right platform.
We focused recruitment on parenting and lifestyle influencers who also have a focus on health, wellness, and mindfulness topics. Each of the six flights included a different mix of blog posts, Instagram posts & stories and Facebook posts. The blog posts were amplified by additional influencers on other platforms including Twitter and Pinterest. Sway Group also activated targeted Facebook advertising throughout the six month period.
During the six-month campaign, Sway engaged 327 total influencers who created 960 total pieces of content for the Stonyfield campaign.
Across all metrics, the campaign delivered stellar results:
